The weather in June, the sun is like fire, there is no rain for half a month, and the red sun exudes poisonous fire, as if it wants to ignite the earth.

A cavalry of two or three hundred men swept swiftly by, and Bei Zitunqi followed closely by Dolgon's side.

"Regent, there is Hesha Town in front, and it is still thirty miles away from the county seat of Guangping!"

Dorgon rode to a mound and looked around with clairvoyance. The ministers and guards who had followed them all rushed forward, and a faint encirclement formed to protect Dorgon.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" After watching for a long time, Dorgon suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was unusually hearty.

Feng Quan, the bachelor who came with him, smiled all over his face, bowed down and said: "The regent's eyes are like lightning, he must have seen the trick to win, congratulations to the regent!" ”

"Master Feng, what do you think I saw?"

"This ...... The old minister doesn't know! ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on Dolgon's face, this Feng Quan originally relied on Wei Zhongxian's path to enter the cabinet, and with the fall of Old Wei, he was also demoted to a commoner. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they searched everywhere for traitors, and Feng Quan served as a bachelor in the East Pavilion, so he naturally became the first batch of targets.

Dolgon appointed him as a scholar of the Inner Court, and because of his familiarity with the allusions of the imperial court, he ranked first, before Fan Wencheng, Ganglin, Qi Chongge, and Ning Wan. Feng Quan was flattered and asked to move the ranking, but Dolgon said: "The country respects the virtuous and respects the guests, and the emperor should not let it." ”

Deeply affected by the "Holy Lord" Hong'en, this Feng scholar was extremely dedicated, and he hated to lie at Dorgon's feet. It's just that this one is an expert in infighting after all. Ignorant of military affairs, Dolgon was a little disgusted.

"Master Feng, do you see it? The radius of a hundred miles around this Guangping is all a horse and a flat river, which is where my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry comes in, Gu Zhenhua chose to fight me here, it is a dead end! ”

After Dorgon said this, the minions around him praised in unison.

"The regent is wise, I am invincible in the Qing Dynasty!"

Dolgon, so full of triumph that he turned his horse's head and was about to leave. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he found a little light flashing among the artemisia grass hundreds of meters away. Dorgon had been a long-time enemy, and he instinctively felt bad. Hurriedly kicked off the saddle.

Just as his butt was raised, a gunshot rang out.

"Hurry up!"

Bei Zitunqi and the others were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, if the regent had a business trip, this Qing Dynasty would really be over! They all flocked to it. Seven hands and eight feet. Dolgon was lifted up from the ground.

"Are you alright, Lord Regent?"

Dolgon grinned and said, "I'm fine, why don't you go and capture the assassins!" ”

The guards hurried after the gunshots, and Dorgon looked over his shoulder, the bullets blackening his armor, but fortunately it didn't hurt his flesh. It's just that Feng Quan, who is behind Dolgon, is not so lucky, he is a literati who doesn't know how to dodge at all. The bullet hit him right in the head.

Dolgon's eyes flashed, and his heart was pounding. Half of Feng Quan's head was blown away, his brains flowed all over the ground, and the only remaining eye stared at the boss, as if he couldn't believe it, why the bullet hit him as if it had an eye.

"Regent, this place is dangerous, let's leave quickly!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Dorgon turned and left. It seems that everyone has forgotten about Feng Quan, a scholar, and his body was thrown on the dirt slope. It wasn't until the next day that the Tartar came to collect the body, but he had been eaten by the beasts until he was reduced to a few bones.

In the summer, the water and grass were lush, and the Anguo army took advantage of the Minnie gun to hide in the grass and play a hunting game with the Tartar scouts, and in less than three days, more than 170 Tartar scouts were killed, including Feng Quan, a scholar who thought to be a university.

……

"These Ming dogs are simply too hateful, in addition to sneak attacks, what else will they do, they have the ability to fight to the death with the Eight Banners Force!" Sonny snorted and said that his nephew had just been killed yesterday and was holding back his resentment.

Fan Wencheng was scheming and said: "Regent, the old minister thinks that Gu Zhenhua's frequent sneak attacks are just to obstruct the investigation. Most of the time their forces are not concentrated and they are stalling for time! ”

Dolgon nodded and sneered: "In Mr. Fan's words, I am a cavalryman in the Qing Dynasty and move extremely fast, while the Ming people are mostly infantry and have many firearms, so it is very inconvenient to transport. ”

When Bei Zitunqi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Regent, since this is the case, should you strike first?" ”

"That's right!" Dolgon said with a smile: "My Eight Banners Brigade has all arrived, the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes has also reached 120,000, and I have an army of 200,000, why not be afraid of Gu Zhenhua'er, tomorrow at dawn to attack in formation, let Ming Gou taste the power of the iron cavalry!" ”

The Tartars are mobilizing troops, and the headquarters in Quang Binh City is also brightly lit.

"Report to the prince, all the 5,300 soldiers of the 21st Brigade will arrive and listen to the instructions of the prince!"

It was Kang Dali who spoke, he was born as Gu Zhenhua's guard, and his soldiers were also the elite of the Anguo Army, so that the main force of the Anguo Army in Guangping had reached 65,000 people. Contains all the essence of the car battalion, hussars, artillery, etc.

Wu Kaijie said: "Lord Wang, after removing the men and horses taken away by Li Xu, our army still has nearly 50,000 people who have not arrived, but I think that we can't wait any longer, and we must do our best to fight a decisive battle!" ”

Gu Zhenhua's gaze swept to the others present, and Guo Yunlong hurriedly stood up.

"What Staff Officer Wu said is reasonable, about half of our men and horses have not arrived, but we have also dragged more than 200,000 troops in Handan, and it has been delayed for a long time, once Handan is not protected, we are in a disadvantageous position, so we should immediately fight a decisive battle with Dolgon."

Sun Cheng, who has always been steady, also said: "That's right, I agree with this opinion, the big war can't be delayed!" In the end, we are infantry, the enemy is cavalry, and later we will change! ”

Gu Zhenhua looked at the others again, and everyone showed a resolute expression.

"Okay, since everyone thinks so, then we'll fight the Tartars to the death tomorrow."

"Guo Yunlong, Zhou Yingjie, you lead five brigades, plus a car battalion and an artillery regiment, as the Chinese army. The main attack on the Tartars. ”

Hearing the general, the two people stood up excitedly and hurriedly saluted. This Armageddon is an initiative that shines in the annals of history. They can act as the main force, that is a great glory, enough to glorify the ancestors!

Suppressing the excited voice, they said together: "Please rest assured, the prince will definitely win!" ”

Gu Zhenhua set his eyes on Sun Cheng and Xie Bin again, and said with a smile: "You each lead two brigades as two wings. Be sure to defend yourself against the Tartar roundabout! ”

"Obedience!"

Gu Zhenhua finally said to Yue Poyu, who was already in no hurry: "This time, the winged cavalry, as the main force of the assault and the trump card of the whole army, will act together with this king. Give the Tartar a fatal blow at the critical moment! ”

"Great!" Yue Poyu said with a smile: "The humble position must let the Tartar taste the most painful lesson!" ”

After the division of troops was completed, everyone immediately went down to prepare, and the huge war plane began to run at high speed. At the beginning of the third watch, all the cooks had already begun to cook. On the fourth watch, the soldiers began to eat.

Everyone knew that it was the last meal before the war. It may also be the last meal of some people's lives, and the veterans pat the recruits on the shoulders and comfort the nervous rookies.

As soon as it was dark, all the soldiers started to go to the battlefield.

The main force of the Angolan army is 60,000 or 70,000 people, plus the already civilian people, the total number is nearly 100,000. And the Tartars have more than 200,000 people, so many people. The width of the entire front was twenty or thirty miles, and the soldiers were densely packed. If you look at it from above. It's like two ant colonies fighting.

As a Chinese army, Guo Yunlong first let Cheying seize the favorable terrain of Tiantai Town, and in front of them was an old river, and the long embankment constituted a natural fortification to protect them. At the foot is the gentle slope of the river valley, and the view is wide, which is just right for firearms fighting.

Just when the army was just getting ready, red flags waved back and forth on the high hot air balloons, hurried and fast.

"Here comes the Tartars!" Guo Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhou Yingjie smiled: "That's right, we have been waiting for this day for a long time!" ”

According to the Western hour, at about half past eight, a large area of Tartar cavalry appeared in Guo Yunlong's field of vision, dense and dense, and there was no edge in sight.

In the middle of the tartar half with a white flag, half with a yellow flag, people shouting horses neighing, so lively.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the two yellow flags and the two white flags that have been at odds with each other to be so close, it seems that we have a lot of credit!" Guo Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhou Yingjie also said: "No matter what flag, Lao Tzu will let them become a flag of death!" ”

The two sides were separated by less than two thousand paces, far away from each other, and the rumbling war drums sounded on the side of the Tartars, and a group of armored cavalry rushed out, and behind them, the artillery of the Tartars pushed the cannons, and the high muzzles were aimed at the positions of the Anguo army.

Rumble!

At about 9 a.m., the first cannon rang out and landed right on top of the embankment, which had no effect except to splash a cloud of soft sand.

But it was this cannon that set off the prelude to the war. The Tartar artillery was like crazy, constantly firing artillery at the Angolan army, and the sky was not a round cannonball, but the smoke was filled with gunsmoke and choking noses.

It seems that the Tartars have also learned the experience of the Anguo Army, firepower, whoever has strong firepower will win the battle!

But this may have been true before, but war always progresses. The hot air balloons flying high in the sky were not at all affected by the smoke of gunfire, and they saw the artillery positions of the Tartars clearly.

The flag kept shaking, and the artillery of the Angolan Army immediately took aim.

Tan Xingming finally determined the location of the cannon, and finally shouted loudly: "Fire!" ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Hundreds of artillery pieces roared together, and thick gunpowder smoke filled the sky. Hail of projectiles smashed into the artillery positions of the Tartars.

"Oh no, run!"

Tartar heard the screaming sound and hurriedly looked up, only to see a large lump of iron smashed down. Some people turned and fled, but it was too late.

The cannonballs exploded right next to them, and suddenly the bones flew sideways, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

However, Tunqi, who was supervising the battle, didn't care at all, the artillery became more and more fierce, he waved his long knife, and the cavalry that was ready to attack rushed towards the Anguo army.

"Kill!" (To be continued......)
